The Riemann Approach to Integration: Local Geometric Theory / Edition 1

by Washek F. Pfeffer

Overview

This book presents a detailed and mostly elementary exposition of the generalized Riemann-Stieltjes integrals discovered by Henstock, Kurzweil, and McShane. Along with the classical results, it contains some recent developments connected with lipeomorphic change of variables and the divergence theorem for discontinuously differentiable vector fields.

Editorial Reviews

"The author presents a detailed exposition of some recent (Riemann!) approaches to generalized integrals of real-valued functions on compact intervals in Euclidean spaces Rm (m>=1)...The author presents this theory in a very complete, thorough manner." R.G. Bartle, Mathematical Reviews
